Return to Self Somatics

I am SO excited to finally share that my work has evolved, and I am stepping into a new direction within the healing field.
Over the years, my journey and education have led me deeper into nervous system healing, somatic work, trauma-informed care, inner child reconnection, and helping people heal through the mind-body connection. What started as massage therapy has grown into something so much bigger and deeply personal to me.
I officially want to welcome you to Return to Self Somatics! A space created to help people reconnect with themselves, regulate the nervous system, move out of survival mode, and truly heal. 💚

If you’d like to learn more about my work, offerings, retreats, workshops, and healing approach, feel free to check out my new website: www.returntoselfsomatics.co

Sharing this post to help spread the word would truly mean so much to me. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. I genuinely cannot wait to see where this next chapter leads. ✨

On May 1st, I will officially be closing the chapter on my massage business… and that hasn’t been easy for me.
This is something I’ve poured so much of my heart into. It’s where I found my rhythm, where I created my own style of bodywork, where so much healing(mine and others) has taken place. Letting it go has come with a lot of emotion. There were moments I felt lost, unsure of where I was being guided next. BUT something shifted over these past few days. I stepped into a new space not only teaching my work, but also holding sessions for people there and every single one was deeply impactful. Watching bodies soften… watching people finally feel safe enough to release and let go… In that space, it became so clear to me…
This is where I belong.
Doing somatic work. Helping others heal from trauma . Guiding people through whatever hell they’ve survived and helping them reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels safe, empowering, and real. This work feeds my soul in a way nothing else ever has. It doesn't just relax muscles, it changes lives. There sre so many others out there who are searching for this kind of healing.
I know this path because I’ve walked it myself.
And now, I’m being called to teach it.
So while I am closing this chapter of massage therapy, I’m not ending my work I’m expanding it..
Also I want to thank everyone who has supported me in the past and is rooting for my future endeavors. It truly means the world to me and I hope I make you proud . 💚

So often, when we do the deep, hard work of healing, the world only sees the person we’ve become and not the struggle, the pain, or the breaking it took to get there. It’s like a seed planted in the dark soil. We admire the flowers when they bloom, but we rarely see the seed shatter, root, and push its way toward the light. If you are on your healing journey, just know that I see and appreciate every version of you, and I can’t wait to see you bloom. 💚🌷💚

We chase, we explain, we bend ourselves in ways that feel unnatural, believing that if we just try hard enough, if we just do enough, we can earn their affection or approval. But here’s the hard truth.. love cannot be negotiated. It cannot be coerced, convinced, or bartered. It simply is or it isn’t.
When we try to convince someone to love us, we are often doing so at the expense of our own well-being. We’re telling ourselves that our worth depends on their response, their validation, their reciprocity. But our value does not hinge on anyone else’s willingness or capacity to meet us halfway. Whether it's a parent, friend or someone you love, the truth remains that same. 💚

Being true to yourself and authentically you is one of the most powerful things you can do to protect your soul's vibration .💚

I’ve been hearing from a lot of people lately that life has been feeling a little extra lifey. (if you know what I mean)
Emotions are close to the surface. Feeling extra drained. Old stuff popping up. A sense that something is shifting..
Well that actually makes a lot of sense and you aren't alone.
We’re at the start of the Lunar New Year, we’re under a new moon, and we’re stepping into the Year of the Horse. In many traditions, the Horse represents movement, momentum, freedom, and forward energy BUT also endurance, emotional fire, and big transitions.

Horse years tend to stir things up.
They invite action, honesty, and forward motion BUT before we move forward, our systems often need to process what we’ve been carrying.

So if the next few days feel tender, heavy, or reflective, here are a few gentle tips...

✨ Slow your pace where you can. Your nervous system may be processing more than you realize.

✨ Drink more water than usual. Big emotional shifts take physical energy.
✨ Notice what’s coming up without rushing to “fix” it. Awareness is enough right now.

✨ Let yourself release what feels outdated ..thoughts, expectations, pressures, even conversations.

✨ Do one small thing that feels grounding ..step outside..stretch..breathe deeply..anything to really allow you to ground yourself into your body.

You don’t have to force a big transformation.
You don’t have to have clarity yet.
You don’t have to start a “new you.”
Sometimes the most powerful reset is simply giving your body permission to catch up with your life.
If you are on the edge of change right now, that doesn’t mean something is wrong.
Our bodies pick up on the smallest energetic shifts and well this is a big one. 💚

Life won’t stop just because your battery is low. But you can choose how to recharge. Rest, self- care, expression, and boundaries are your charging ports. Every moment you honor your needs is like plugging yourself in and recharging. 💚
